The differences between the oil-fired boiler and coal-fired boiler

1) There is a big difference in the furnace heating surface between the oil-fired boiler and coal-fired boiler.

2) The oil-fired boiler is usually equipped with a burner while the coal-fired boiler general uses the combustion chamber for coal combustion.

3) The oil-fired boiler has a high degree of automation and intelligence. It is equipped with the PLC control system which can set the boiler parameters with one button. The coal-fired boiler has a high degree of mechanization but some one needs the manual feeding.

4) The oil-fired boiler has small size and has no geographical restrictions as long as there is an oil storage tank. The coal-fired boiler needs to have the extra space for coal storage and deal with the slag after coal combustion by transportation.
